Snap count notes: Browns played all 3 WRs and starting DL extensively

The Cleveland Browns were down to three healthy, active wide receivers after the first drive of the loss to the Chargers. And boy did they ride that threesome hard!

Jarvis Landry, Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley all played nearly the entire game together against Los Angeles. Landry played 73 of the 74 offensive snaps. Callaway played 72 and fellow rookie Ratley 65 in his first real-time action.

Only the starting offensive line played every snap, as once again the entire OL stayed together for all 74 reps.

Despite the stark lack of depth at receiver, the Browns did not lean on the tight ends or running backs for more assistance. The running backs played exactly 74 combined snaps, or one per play. Duke Johnson did see more action with a season-high 37. Carlos Hyde got a season-low 32 and rookie Nick Chubb played just seven. Hyde did get the bulk of the carries, toting the rock 14 times to three for Chubb and two for Johnson.

Seth DeValve was on the field for just one snap at tight end, and Orson Charles played just five. The theory that the tight end depth would get more involved with the WR issues proved false.

On defense, two players earned Iron Man status: CB Denzel Ward and safety Damarious Randall. Both were on the field for all 60 Chargers offensive plays.

Joe Schobert left the game with his hamstring injury after playing every one of the 33 to that point. Genard Avery played 23 and James Burgess 17 in his stead.
